Redesign of Cave of the Winds complex, gorge rim
trails and new police station to be unveiled

The
New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has
announced will host an open house to provide the public an opportunity to learn
more about plans to redesign Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park. The open
house will take place Dec. 9, from 5-7
p.m. at the Conference Center Niagara Falls, 101 Old Falls St.

The
majority of this work is being funded through Gov. Andrew Cuomo's New York
Works program and the New York Power Authority.

The
format of the open house will allow the public to review the renderings for
Stedman's Bluff, the plaza adjacent to the Cave of the Winds complex, the gorge
rim trails, Terrapin Point, and the area immediately surrounding the Top of the
Falls restaurant. It will also provide information on parking lot No. 2 and the
plans to relocate the New York State Park Police office.

Though
there will be no formal presentation or comments taken at this open house, the
public can review the schematic designs, talk with park staffers, and learn
more about how the park is being restored.
